Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

The report proposed temporarily removing the planter in Rottingdean High Street after completing a four-week traffic count on Steyning Road. Further traffic and air-quality monitoring would determine whether the planter should be permanently removed or reinstated.

Recommendation

Delegate authority to officers to remove and store the planter after the four-week traffic count ending on 22 July 2023, conduct a further four-week count beginning on 4 September 2023, and decide whether to reinstate the planter based on air-quality and traffic-counter results.

Financial impact

No direct financial implications; traffic monitoring costs approximately £700 per period and will be funded from earmarked Local Transport Plan Capital Programme funds.
